The Cereal Box:Log/Session 31

Session 31

April 25th

The changelings woke up ready to face another day. Nikolai and Sephie discussed the dreams they went into.

Ernie contacted Johnny for advice on how to help winter, and he explained that following and giving orders is largely a summer thing that is part of the reason he left the summer court. He also spoke with Chelsea at the flophouse to determine how well things are going and she took a note of Ernie's number.

Hestia prepped meals for Jack Strong. She called him darling when she gave him lunch and even gave Jack a house key. He was overjoyed and delighted by the whole affair.

Nikolai called Billy for advice on crafting pledges, but got a hold on Dahlia. Dahlia directed him to a reclusive Autumn courtier named Maag Brunt for his needs - the changeling being double infamous for assisting the Autumn king (of all people!) in crafting pledges, and alleged that Brunt had formerly crafted pledges with "Arcadian entities."

Alana went to work and was stocking at Horrocks, but was confronted at work by ICE agents that were actively inquiring regarding her contradictory immigration statuses. The Man with the Badge captured her as she fled, and strongarmed her into contacting her motley. The Man explained that he was after Ernie, but that he did not intend to take him to Arcadia - just to see "someone who really wants to see him." He further explained that, if the motley gave him the badge back, he would arrange for a meeting with this person outside of Arcadia - allowing them to come to his window. Ernie admitted that he wanted to see his sister, but not so badly as to allow that - and, further, he admitted that he was concerned she might be happy in Arcadia and, if that was so, he wouldn't want to take it from her. After deliberation, the motley attacked the Man and, hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned, they defeated him.

Upon doing so, they returned to their home. Nikolai showed the badge to Sullivan and, after doing some research, became convinced that the Badge was now something that could be magic, but no longer had a spark of magic in it.
